Day +504 : Drinking too much water can be fatal too!

I am fine today.

A lady who experienced mild high blood pressure believed that drinking a lot of water could bring her blood pressure down. After consuming 7 liter of water continuously for 3 months, she fell unconscious and developed permanent blindness.

Never listen to those people especially multi-level marketing(MLM) agent who claims that their product is natural, and thus “the more you consume, the better you are”. This is definitely not the case. For example, when we consume a product too much, our body needs to do extra work to dispose it no matter how superior the product is, and this certainly put extra burden on our organs. In the long run, organs failure are inevitable. So we should rephrase the “the more you consume, the better you are” to “the more you consume, the better I am”, because the more you spend, the more profit the MLM agent will get :-)

A specialist told me he came across a few patients whose liver was damaged due to spirulina overdose. Many claim that spirulina is a good agent for liver detoxification, but consuming too much of it ends up in liver damage :-(

Beware of those who claim their product is of the “the more you consume, the better you are” type. Just applying a little bit of common sense: even drinking too much water can be fatal, what more to say their product?

I attached the article regarding “water poisoning” for your reference. Click on the article to have a larger view.

See you next post :-)
